that girl
guide to a gossip girl vs lifestyle
becoming that girl
This guide will tell you all the tips, trips and flips you will need in your life. Becoming that girl is all about making your lifestyle more interesting for yourself. I will also introduce you to The Onion, as we tear into its layers. To start this journey off, we must begin at the core, The Mindset.
chapter 1
Mindset
The core of the onion. The Mindset holds it all
all together. Without it, everything falls apart.
You need to believe you are That Girl before
everyone else does. Watch a couple episodes of
GG and take notes from B and S. Do not be a
beach but also not too nice. Remember who you are.
It’s all about becoming the best version of yourself
who believes they can do anything they put
their mind to.
Chapter 2
The outside
"A character is nothing without costumes."
To play the part, you need to look the part. This chapter has many stages. First impressions are most important. That is how people first judge you and how they will see you. It is not about how attractive you appear, but the vibes you give off. Always remember, look good for yourself and nobody else.
Hair is so important and makes you stand out. Long, luscious curls or a blowout are my favourites, but variety is crucial. For some inspo, click here.
makeup
Keep your makeup mysterious and simple. Not too much and a slight theme of pink and black.
For everyday-makeup, blush, highlight, lip liner and gloss, contour, and eyeliner. For a tutorial, search up Victoria’s Secret makeup on TT or yt.
style
Style is extremely important, maybe even more than hair. Usually, clothes are what people look at first and what makes you feel confidence. Check out my style inspo section for a more in-depth guide here:

beauty sleep
Sleep is so important for mood and confidence. You can not be the It Girl if you can barely wake up. I am going to tell you how to start a healthy and consistent sleep schedule.

Chapter 4
fragrance
Would you rather be extremely beautiful but smell terrible, or be extremely unattractive but smell heavenly? Most people choose the second.
Smell is one of the most important senses and usually something people will remember about you, so, here is a few tips to smell incredible.
affordable
inspo
Victoria’s Secret is the no. 1 place for affordable body sprays, so here are some of my faves:
-Velvet Petals! I know it is super popular, but it still smells heavenly!
-Rush! Such a clean scent!
-The perfumes are also great but pricier.
bath & body works
Also great for affordable fragrance mists.
sol de janeeiro
Sol De Janeiro’s smaller sized mists are reasonably priced. My fave is the og 62 and the discontinued Coco Cabana. I also really want to try the new After Hours.
pricier perfumes
YSL’s Libre smells INCREDIBLE and Replica perfumes have so many choices!!
Chapter 5
hygiene
“Perfume is no use on a dirty body.”
Hygiene. Cleanliness. Sanitariness. Without these three synonyms, everything else in this guide is useless. You cannot become a Clean Girl without going to the shower, or be a Pink Pilates Princess that does not use deodorant. So here are the hygiene products you will need.
deodorant
Dove deos are super affordable and will def have a smell you like. They also have diff ones like spray, sticks, and a basic deo.
I personally have not tested Sol De Janeiro’s deo but I have heard good things and some of their scents are heavenly, although not to everyones liking.
I have not tested Native deos either but the scents look amaze.
shower
Everyone has heard of the everything shower, so heres what you will need (even though this is not technically hygiene).
Body Gel.
The most basic thing. Soap to clean yourself.
Shampoo & conditioner.
Please, please, please, do not go around with greasy locks. All hair haas potential.
Hair mask.
Hair masks are essential for silky hair & there are so many to choose from.
Face cleaner.
To clean that face especially if you have makeup on.
Body Scrub.
Leaves your skin feeling so smooth. I love the Tree Hut ones.
Teeth
laundry
Brush your teeth at least twice a day for the health of your teeth and your breath. Use gum and mints if necessary during the day as they are good for your breath and saliva.
Please wash your clothes, nobody likes dirty ones.
wash hands
Obviously, wash your hands laods during the day.
